given that this was a welding class, I was expecting this to end up so much worse

Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.

We love the character development

something about orpheus missing his cue the first time hermes introduces him, something about eurydice being the only one who doesn't properly bow to the audience, something about orpheus turning around too early, something about eurydice's impending doom haunting the narrative, something about hadestown being a cyclical, inevitable tragedy where the hero is destined to doubt himself and the heroine is already lost before the tale even begins again...

someone said that an Orpheus that didn’t look back is an Orpheus that never went to the underworld in the first place and oh I am SICK.

something i adore about hadestown is that it still meant something, y'know what i mean? like okay, no orpheus's song did not convince hades to give up his empire. hades' love for persephone isn't enough to deconstruct the machine he's built and has convinced himself that he needs in order to protect what he has. but he let them go. he saw the love eurydice and orpheus had for one another and it convinced him to let them try. orpheus may have turned around but they still walked, they almost made it. doubt set it but they were right there. that's further than anyone else can say. nobody else had made it that far. who's to say someone else can't make it a few steps further? persephone is able to leave the underworld and go home again when she needs to. spring has come again, if we're lucky autumn just might too. will this change be permanent? we don't know. but it's something. it doesn't knock down the wall but it's one brick out of it. and that means something. it wasn't all for nothing. it's a crack in the wall. there's a reason we keep singing this old song.
